Just so it's out there, if anyone wants to move on a Rekluse for a '90 CR500, I'm looking for one. Model no for the correct wedges/spring weights etc is RMS-817.
I'm expecting to get deluged with hundreds of offers on this one ! !

I have an extra pro with almost no time on it that I've been sitting on for a while. I'm trying to find some time to build my woods bike. Too many bills to pay for much play lately. If I decide to let it go I'll get with you if you are still looking.

From a singletracker's point of view:other wrote:Gravel Scratcher, didn't you got the last one I tried for ? How do you like it ? I'm worried that after 40 years riding conventionally clutched dirt bikes, I may not be able to adapt to it ? Also, as I have quite a few dirt bikes, and the CR500 will be the only one with a Rekluse, I'm concerned about swapping between bikes being a problem. Are they easy to get used to ? Is it going to fuck up the enjoyment of all the others ? What's the general consensus of opinion ?

Hey Mojo, I wasn't being all that serious with the "diapers and walking frame" type comments, just havin' a laugh (mostly at my own expense for being soft enough to consider this), but I absolutely 100% agree with your comment about learning the skills first, and only then start looking to 'cut corners' for your own comfort. I AM going to give it a try now, but if the general consensus was "once you've had one, you'll keep planting your face if you try to ride a standard bike again" I wouldn't chance it. I still love riding too much to risk it over a 'fad' item like a Rekluse. It's just a fair bit of coin just to experiment, so I was trying to draw on you guys experience. It does seem to be a subject that divides hoons, no-one seems ambivalent about 'em, do they.MojoScojo wrote:I did not mean it to be an insult. It is simply not my thing. I don't like the loss of fine control on the very bottom. When I get into the situation my dad is in where I don't take the risky trails for fear of getting injured, I may get one. Likely not until then.
My point was simply this: I don't believe in autoclutch's for beginner or rookie riders. Too many pertinent skills get bypassed by running one. You'll be fine. You may like it. I don't. I'm not going to ridicule anyone for choosing to run one if they have the skills to make that decision.
The Magura is not one finger'ish enough? Mine is pretty easy. Not one finger easy, but easy enough that hand fatigue is not an issue. I'm not gonna say I ride the nastiest of the nasty, but I certainly know what it's like to spend all day on the clutch. Thing is, that's what I loved about the 500. I could adapt my riding style to bog the snot out of it and stay OFF the clutch and keep driving forward. That actually improved the HELL out of my riding ability. My son is learning that now.
